Saturday 24th March 2007 - Weather: cold and overcast

I am having my first major day at the allotment this coming Friday and will be taking the new camera with me, although I will be sowing lots of seeds, so not really sure quite what I will be taking photos of. However, I have been clicking away today taking snaps of all of the seedlings I have on the go. So here is just a little gallery of how the sowing schedule is going for me.

What a jumble! Anyhow, there are tomato seedlings, cauliflower seedlings, beetroot seedlings, and the two window boxes are number one sons, one with carrots in and one with cut and come again lettuce in. Everything is looking very good and I will be pleased to get the sweetpeas and broadbeans planted out onto the allotment on Friday.

My theory is, men love gardening because it is as close as they can get to childbirth...without the obvious pain! They aquire their little seed,they place it in a soft bed of John Innes,they talk to it,water and feed it,and then birth,a seedling!
